Charts

What does the world look like, ranked? Every chart here is somebody else’s published ranking, drawn once and then written out in full: 12 charts, 153 ranked rows, 80 countries and 9 publishers — the newest from .

The picture is the illustration; the figures beneath it are the page. Every row names its publisher, links to the country it is about, and says so where a place is shared.

Where these figures come from

Not every source is the same kind of thing. A statistical agency, an index producer, a commercial aggregator and a magazine's compilation are all here, and each one says which it is.

Each chart reproduces only the rows its own poster prints, never a publisher’s full table, and names and links that publisher on its page. Where this site holds a measure of the same ground, the chart says so; where it holds none, it says that too. The 149 statistics kept up to date here are at /statistics, and how the site works is at /methodology.
